Title: Device for treating back pain by re-establishing the exchange of nutrient & waste
Inventor: YEUNG JEFFREY E
IPC: A61B17/88
Filed: 2004-05-07
Abstract: The intervertebral disc is avascular. With aging, endplates become occluded by calcified layers, and diffusion of nutrients and oxygen into the disc diminishes. The disc degenerates, and pain ensues. Conduits are delivered and deployed into the intervertebral disc to reestablish the exchange of nutrients and waste between the disc and bodily circulation to stop or reverse disc degeneration and relieve pain. The intervertebral disc installed with semi-permeable conduits may be used as an immuno-isolated capsule to encapsulate donor cells capable of biosynthesizing therapeutic molecules. The semi-permeable conduits establish the exchange of nutrients and therapeutic molecules between disc and bodily circulation to treat a disease without using immunosuppressive drugs.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of forming sidewall-functionalized carbon nanotubes, wherein such functionalized carbon nanotubes have hydroxyl-terminated moieties covalently attached to their sidewalls.  Generally, such methods involve chemistry on carbon nanotubes that have first been fluorinated. In some embodiments, fluorinated carbon nanotubes ("fluoronanotubes") are reacted with mono-metal salts of a dialcohol, MO-R-OH, where M is a metal and R is hydrocarbon or other organic chain and/or ring structural unit. In such embodiments, -O-R-OH displaces -F on the nanotube, the fluorine leaving as MF. Generally, such mono-metal salts are formed in situ by the addition of MOH to one or more dialcohols in which the fluoronanotubes have been dispersed. In some embodiments, fluoronanotubes are reacted with amino alcohols, such as being of the type H2N-R-OH, wherein -N(H)-R-OH displaces -F on the nanotube, the fluorine leaving as HF.
